Bitmine Immersion has purchased 35,268 ETH worth $108.7 million in one of its largest single-week acquisitions. <p>Bitmine Immersion just raised the stakes in crypto treasury warfare.

XRP is at a technically fragile point on the monthly chart, with the Bollinger Bands midline near $1.89 now acting as the critical make-or-break level. <p>XRP is in a really delicate position technically, and the monthly chart just gave its first serious macro warning since the 2024 breakout.</p><p>If the current $1.89 midline on the Bollinger Bands flips into resistance, the downside magnet is not a mild dip but a brutal collapse: $0.20, the next logical level in the volatility corridor. That is an 88% drop from the current price point, as visible on the TradingView chart.</p>Make or break. Losing the mid-band would invalidate most breakout assumptions made since November 2024. <p>The structure is as straightforward as it is brutal. The monthly candles are showing XRP having a hard time holding the middle band. This is the first time since its Q4,2024, liftoff, where there was an over 300% rally after years of it being stuck sideways.</p><p>Now that same band has flattened, and the candle bodies are closing into it like dead weight. The lower band has not been tested since 2022, and it has been widening since the parabola began.</p><p>Losing the midband here is not just a dip, it makes every breakout bet made since November 2024 invalid. When this band broke up in 2020, the price of XRP went into a two-year bear flat. The difference now is scale: the lower band sits at $0.20, not $0.60.</p><a href="https://u.today/utoday-crypto-digest-strategy-mstr-buying-bitcoin-again-bitmine-adds-108-million-worth-of-ethereum" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
